Alek's Tasks
Contact both lists and let people know that I am the new RA manager (email Katrina about that).
Around January 10th (~a week before the semester starts), start a poll to figure out a good time for the lab meetings.
"Which of these topics interest you the most?" survey.
One of the first meetings needs to discuss what everybody needs to learn, and who wants to lead the meeting (i.e. if someone has a special relevant skill!).
Take stock of what people have worked on in the past/what their strengths and skills are.
Make sure that people know what tools are available! (i.e. Tell the mailing lists about the websites we have with the Poser characters, stimuli databases, etc.)
Help recruit people to finish the databases (database of Poser characters, database of video stimuli, database of picture stimuli, database of Poser files).
Practice Unix skills!!!!
Tools
Doodle (Doodle is for scheduling events at the most convenient times for everyone!)
Survey Monkey (Survey Monkey is used to create surveys!)
